“…The incorporation of different chemical preservatives into the preservative solutions has as function of postharvest of flowers: the supply of sugar as source of energy and to avoid microbial growth consequently vascular blockade, thus increasing water absorption by the stems. Citric acid is a chemical treatment present in many formulations and its efficiency in prolonging vase life was documented in some studies (Goszczyńska and Rudnicki, 1988;Van Doorn, 2010;Azizi and Onsinejad, 2015). This organic acid has an essential role as pH regulator, reducing bacterial proliferation and consequently improving water flow in the xylem of cut flowers (Van Doorn, 1997).…”

Chrysanthemum is one of the most commercialized cut flowers on world market. After cutting, it becomes highly perishable due to the increased metabolic activity that leads to senescence. Thus, the experiment was carried out in order to evaluate action of maintenance solutions on the postharvest physiology cutting chrysanthemums of the cultivar Framint. A completely randomized design was used in the factorial scheme composed of two factors: four postharvest treatments and seven evaluation times. The flowers remained in the following maintenance solutions: citric acid solution, solution with boric acid, and salicylic acid solution at concentrations 100 mg. L-1 for both treatments in combination with 1% ethanol. During postharvest period, following analyzes were performed: fresh mass loss, volume of water absorbed, luminosity (petals), activity of the enzymes ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total protein and total carbohydrate content. The treatment with citric acid + ethanol was the most adequate to conserve the quality and to prolong longevity of the flowers, being confirmed by the smaller loss of fresh mass, respiratory activity, better maintenance of carbohydrate and protein content.

“…Organic acids are source of both carbon skeleton and energy for cells and are used in the respiratory cycle and other biochemical pathways, therefore can influence on the cut flower’s vase life (da Silva, 2003). Citric acid is a regular ingredient in many vase solution formulations that acts as a pH regulator that reduces bacterial proliferation and enhances the water conductance in xylem of cut flowers (Goszczynska and Rudnicki, 1988; van Doorn, 2010). Citrate and malate are among the intermediate organic acids in Krebs cycle which produces cellular energy by oxidative phosphorylation (Wills et al, 1981).…”

Citric acid is a regular ingredient in many vase solution formulations but pre-harvest use of citric acid is a novel method in vase life extension of cut flowers, which is reported on tuberose earlier. In order to verify previous result, and check for possible substitution of citric acid by malic acid, the current research was designed. Citric acid (0, 0.075, 0.15% w/v) and malic acid (0, 0.075, 0.15% w/v) were used in a factorial design with three replications. Foliar sprays were applied two times during growth period of Lilium plants. The results point out that 0.15% citric acid alone had increased vase life from 11.8 in control treatment to 14 days (α < 0.05). The interesting finding was the effect of citric acid on bulbil weight, which was decreased from 9 g in control to 1.5 g in treatment containing combination of 0.075% citric acid and 0.075% malic acid. Malic acid while having no direct effect on pre-mentioned traits surprisingly increased the chlorophyll content significantly. The interaction effect between citric acid and malic acid on vase life and chlorophyll content proved significant and was evident in results, both as antagonistic and synergistic in various traits.

One of the most lucrative agricultural sectors globally is the floral industry. The study examined how plant growth regulators affect roses. After analysing the findings of previous studies in this area, PGRs. These compounds, which are endogenously produced by plant tissues, promote the growth and development of the plants. They work by altering, regulating, or managing the processes involved in plant growth, such as the development of leaves and flowers, the lengthening of stems, and quality improvement. Artificial chemical substances possessing physiological activity akin to substances that promote plant growth and the capacity to alter the growth and development of plants. The PGRs are used commercially in agriculture. The method of using PGRs in horticulture yields positive outcomes. Nevertheless, additional research and discussion on the topic are required in order to draw the conclusion that presents favourable prospects and real-world benefits for application in the future.
